Ghana midfielder Kwasi Sibo has officially joined Libyan Premier League champions Al-Swehly on a three-year deal, with an option for a further year. The 28-year-old arrived as a free agent after leaving Spanish side Real Oviedo at the end of the 2025/26 season.
$10m package after Turkey deal collapses
The transfer follows a dramatic saga in which a proposed move to Turkish Super Lig club Gençlerbirliği fell through at the last minute. Al-Swehly then presented a lucrative offer reported to be worth around $10 million over three years, with some estimates putting the net value closer to $7.5 million after deductions. Sibo is also understood to receive an apartment in Libya as part of the contract.
